All signs are pointing toward Champ Bailey's return on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After missing the first five games of the season with a sprained foot, the cornerback is listed as probable on the Broncos' injury report.

"We're excited to have Champ back," coach John Fox said. "He's had an outstanding week."

Wesley Woodyard did not take the practice field with the Broncos on Friday for the team's final practice before facing the Jaguars. The linebacker injured his neck on Sunday in Dallas against the Cowboys, and he hasn't participated even in the team's stretches for the past two days. He's listed as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Robert Ayers, who injured his left shoulder in Dallas, was present for stretches but immediately left the field and is also listed as doubtful. Chris Harris, who suffered a concussion during that same game, was back on the field for the second straight day, and he's listed as probable to play.
